Alone (2020)
Really stupid
The acting could be called good. It could be, but considering all the holes in this non-imaginative film, good acting really can't save it. The guy must be a psychic because, as noted by many viewers here, he finds her everywhere she goes. And she seems to be just clueless when some weirdo is stalking her as others have noted. The biggest hole for me, and when I lost any respect for the film, is when she's hiding in the back of his car as he was burying poor old Robert. When he's done burying him, he should have loaded his shovel into the back of the car where he got it from, but lo! He doesn't. Our heroine is hiding there, and no way. Just no way. Where the hell did the shovel go?
Did he just leave it there? Then after all the wrecks, wounds, getting shot, she can fight a big 'ol dude and overpower him? Hahaha. Not bloody likely. Seriously, the poor movie is shameful. If you want to watch something that doesn't require even one brain cell, then have at it.
Honeydew (2020)
Properly creepy
I see so many 1, 2. One reviewer even one wanted to give a -10. Well. I absolutely did not hate it. Sure,it had some skeezy stuff, but I don't think it was going for an Oscar. Just some proper creep time. Maybe some think it wasn't original, but I disagree. And the real stuff going on is nicely held until close to the end. Grandma is super creepy, cuts folks up, has grandpa give them lobotomies and then she's as sweet as can be while she feeds them. Jaysus, she ate most of her daughter. The hapless couple doesn't win, but ends up like all the others. I like a harsh ending.
I rarely leave reviews. But this one doesn't deserve such low numbers, so I had to say something. I think also, many missed the super dark humor, but it's there.
If you like a simple, very odd and over the top creep fest, give it a try--with an open mind.
Who's Watching Oliver (2017)
Excellent. Truly.
A must see. Brilliant performances. Fabulous creep factor. Who's the real monster? It isn't as obvious as you think. And maybe there are more than one. The stark, almost bereft apartment is such a curious contrast to the amusement park where most of the story seems to take place. I'll never forget the park jingle.
Do yourself a favor and see this.
The Wolf Hour (2019)
Really sucked
A real waste of time. I think maybe it was supposed to be slow and pedantic to perhaps reflect her slow and pedantic life, but it fell flat. And how was Margot related to her? Who the hell was she in all this?
I schleped through to the end, and I think that last scene revealed that the entire movie was her book, not actually lived. I suppose that was supposed to be the clever twist? A desperate addition to make this stupid movie have at least one interesting factor? Who knows. It didn't work.
A sad and stupid film. It's a shame someone spent money on it.
May (2002)
Who could give this more than 2 stars???
Awful. No, really. If I hadn't spent 4 bux on this hoping for a good tale, I never would have seen it to the end. I feel so ripped off.
Nothing new, nothing very interesting, slow paced to the point of dragging, tedious plot, and woeful attempts at some kind of dark humor. Been done, and this stupid joke of a film shouldn't have tried to do what's been done over and over, but much much better.
Ghastly, but not in a good way. Skip it.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022)
Sooo trite
Predictable, inane. Turns out the therapist is her hubbie. Stoopid. Daughter died being eaten by an incarcerated killer. How totally impossible. She's been drinking waaayy hard for three ears, taking pills along with and just stops? I figured out who the killer was way early. It's always the least suspected, but always a weird character on the periphery. I don't think anything can save this.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Stupid, just stoopid
It was going slow and silly, but I was going to stick it out because I'm snowed in and so much stuff to stream is lame right now.
BUT
Then the ice gave way and the little shelter goes pell mell into the freezing water. All is lost, and we see a shirted terminally ill old man scrambling for ages in the icey water for his lifesaving backpack, which, of course floats away. That venture would have killed him, no doubt, but then, to make the scripting worse and stoopider, he makes it out and by some ridiculous miracle, there is a jacket and gloves available, and he sits there on the ice alive. Now, if you have a brain (wassup Clooney?) you would know that if all was lost, that would include the freaking jacket and gloves. And if somehow the stuff did get saved at all, everything would be soaked through with said icey water, and survival would not occur. So, stoopid.
I watched the rest cuz like I said, I'm snowed in and there isn't much to watch, but after that I really didn't pay much mind. Just a movie in the background.
The Canyon (2009)
Idiots
I'm not gonna say much. What struck me and really disappointed, which flavored the whole film, is how stupid they were to not stay put and find the mules. Idiots.
Rust Creek (2018)
Not so bright this girl
I gave up at 1/2 hour. This smart girl just doesn't think.
Me? As soon as a beat up truck pulls up and stops in front of me on some lonely country back road, I'd get back in my car, lock the doors and call 911, and roll outa there! That's another blunder; I live in the country, and cell service is dicey or non existent. Amazing she has service. I'd like to know who her carrier is!
Also, she leaves said phone in her car-what young person does that? Phones are glued to their bodies. And especially when you are out there, solo. Best to have the phone close by, don't cha think? In case yahoos pull up in a beat up truck and stop in front of you. And since she has that amazing service, why not call the area cops to help you find your way, especially if your GPS is a lying to you. Simple, smart thinking. Not for our girl.
Next, she ditches her sweatshirt. Why?? Then she goes out in the open to drink from the river even though dangerous guys are hunting her. I guess she was very, very thirsty. Then she yells at a plane (???), again announcing her whereabouts. And finally, why did she go away from her car, hiding in some ditch? Wouldn't a smart survivor kinda keep close? Like to get away? Keep an eye on the only thing that could possibly get you outa there.
I gave up after these unbearably dumb choices.
Desolation (2016)
Another stupid movie
Nuff siad. Did anyone notice the mirror between the two paintings in Jay's apartment changed size? It's the only intriguing thing I saw, and never explained.
Where oh where are the god movies??
Horizon Line (2020)
So stupid
Everything was stupid. Girl ghosts guy, he still likes her. Fool. Pilot dies. Lame. Girl has itty bitty bit of flying experience but makes it through a big ass storm. Unlikely. Acting is wooden, emotions are gone...example; pilot is friend and dies. No one sheds a tear.
I gave up half way in. Even if I'm bored to death I wouldn't bother.
Lonely Hearts (2006)
Kinda fun but not so accurate
I like the movie, love Travolta in anything he does, but I can't get past Selma Hayek as Martha. The real Martha was from Florida, had no exotic accent and was certainly no beauty. She was overweight and homely. I can forgive lots of things, but stay true to the character. At least Leto as Raymond is as sleazy as the real guy was. Gave it 5 because it is fairly entertaining.
Till Death (2021)
Stupid from the get go
I don't find Megan Fox even remotely good looking. She looks like a mannequin; way too much makeup and not nice features.
I have one question early on in the film...about her husband's shirt. Anyone notice that? How did that happen if you're cuffed together? You might watch for the first 30 mins or so and see if you notice this glaring flaw. Laughable.
Intrusion (2021)
Could it be worse??
Lots of comments on how utterly lame this movie is. I heartily agree, but what I found to be the stupidist thing was the "heroine" decides to go snooping around during a party where she will surely be missed, turns on the light in the office so it's clear she's in there, and then it takes a looong time for demon hubby to catch up to her.
Really, miss this film. Shame on you, Netflix.
